five blocks from montgomery and kerney. >> i've been here already one hour and and a half. >> reporter: traffic officers say the gridlock began early today. street after street, bumper to bumper. testing peoples patience. >> monday was bad, tuesday was worse, and today just takes the cake. >> reporter: lines for the buses bound for the east bay were no better. >> frustrating. >> reporter: people stood, and waited to board. often find buses so packed it was standing room only, an hour ride or more across the bridge. >> if i can get on this first bus, it would probably take me about an hour and a half. >> reporter: for those who didn't get on, more waiting. back here live, it is

south bay today. reminding people to call 811 for the location of gas lines. contractors ruptured a 2-inch pipe at 9:00 a.m. this morning at the westgate shopping center on saratoga avenue. crews were using a backhoe at the time. starbucks was the only store evacuated as a precaution. the leak was capped. in cupertino, a construction crew hit a one inch gas line at a strip mall. several businesses were evacuated for about an hour, while that leak was being capped. pg and e, says contractors in this case did not call 811. for nearly a week, we've been talking about some very hot temperatures inland. our weather story will soon be changing. right now i'm tracking some moisture. a big batch of high clouds. you probability noticed it was muggy today.

some moisture moving in from the south. that moisture worked with instability. we have some thunderstorms out toward point arena, moving toward mendocino county. look at all the activity just to the west of ukiah. moving into portions of southern humboldt county as well. watching out to that tonight, and into tomorrow morning, primarily shifting to the north. temperatures right now, it is still warm out there. showing you 80 degrees in concord right now, livermore 82. oakland in the upper 60s, downtown san francisco in the lower 60s, at 61. our time lapse imagery, there's the golden gate. you can see here, a very shallow marine layer. as a result, the cooling confined to the coast and the bay. this marine layer will get stretched out as we head into the weekend. that will be the source of some cooling, across the entire bay area. first thing tomorrow morning, areas of fog near the coast,

and right around the bay. this could be locally dense. temperatures to start out the day, mid-50s, all the way to upper 60s. we've been talking about this pressure over the last week. hot and humid for today. one more day of triple digit heat in our forecast as we head into your thursday for the 4th of july. here's the change though, taking this into friday and into the weekend. temperatures easily come down a good 10 degrees into friday. the cooling will continue into the weekend. as far as the thunderstorms, you'll see high clouds and fog to start out the day in the bay area. thunderstorms developing to the north, and possibly to the east, out toward lake tahoe tomorrow afternoon, and into tomorrow night. forecast highs for tomorrow, most areas about the same as today, could be a little bit cooler in a few spots, but still upper 90s, to near 100 degrees. once again, we have that

pitch. just like that moss has his 15th homer of the year. colone allowed just two runs. but the cubs padded the lead in the 8th. dioner navarro was going to score either way. the cubs win 3-1. the a's stay in front in the al west by a half game. you might be left to wonder what's more painful for a giant fan. getting no hit last night, or spending 11 innings waiting for offense, and still losing tonight. got into a pitch with greger blanco aboard. giving the giants a 2-1 lead. but that was it. the reds got even in the 6th. george contoes gives one up to ivy. not a bad pitching performance for barry zito and the six relievers who followed him.

but in the 11th, chin soo choo hits in the winning run. the people who did the seeding at wimbledon this year knew what they were doing in the men's draw. murray runs fernando around
